The BJP first came to power in Assam in 2016, breaking the record term held by the Congress party. It also became the only party in the state besides the Congress to have two consecutive terms in office.
The BJP initially took power in Manipur in 2017 and then did so again in 2022.
The creation of the government in Tripura in 2018 ended the Left’s reign of a few decades, marking another first for the BJP in the area. The BJP is still in charge in Arunachal Pradesh, as well as in coalition administrations in Nagaland and Meghalaya.
